Latvia Osprey Nest ~ ESTLAT project ~ 2013
Urmas posted: We decided with Latvian colleagues to start Osprey cam about in mid March and not to miss arriving of those inhabitants of the nest.
This is the second season for this webcam in Latvia, a part of the ESTLAT joint venture between Estonia and Latvia, Eagles Across Borders.
Last year, three young osprey fledged from this nest. Two were ringed but one "escaped" and did not receive a ring. You can read about the 2012 season HERE

Hey everyone!
I see the cam is on right now and there's a bunch of sticks so big, they should be called logs!!!

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,

According to http://www.weather.ee/voru/ it's still cold in Estonia, especially at night (see the forecast), and Piret is already in Egypt (or maybe Turkey)... Do you think this will have an influence on the breeding season this year?
What do you hear? Nothing but the rain.
